Ye Nanshen sauntered in with his hands in his pockets, his strikingly handsome face wearing a half-smile. His eyebrows slightly raised, he exuded a leisurely elegance, his entire demeanor radiating a lazy aristocracy.
After many days, Ye Nanshen seemed even more captivating to everyone at the scene. Yet, Ye Shaochen felt a sting in his eyes at the sight of Ye Nanshen’s healthy state.
Ye Shaochen’s face briefly flashed an unnatural expression, forcing a stiff smile and asked, “Nanshen, when did your legs get better?”
“Quite a while ago. Probably since my lucky charm married me?” Ye Nanshen said. He tilted his head, as nonchalant as if he were discussing the dinner menu.
Ye Shaochen’s fingers clenched unconsciously and he said, “Why didn’t you inform everyone? We would have been happy to know.”
Ye Nanshen chuckled lightly, casually pulling out a chair to sit, and said, “I was afraid that if I told you, you wouldn’t be able to eat.”
At that, Ye Shaochen’s face darkened instantly, every expression painfully rigid. True enough, his appetite had vanished. His heart felt heavy as if weighed down by a stone, making it hard to even swallow.
Ye Nanshen’s arrival instantly tensed the atmosphere in the living room, making it oppressively stifling. Accustomed to doing as he pleased, he spoke without regard for the mood, leaving them no chance to lighten the atmosphere.
Everyone in the room dared not raise their eyes to look at Ye Nanshen, who seemed to dominate the space like a king at his feast. Only Old Master Ye seemed unfazed. He grunted at Ye Nanshen, “What nonsense are you spouting? How did you know about the family dinner? Didn’t I say not to tell you?”
“Do I need you to tell me? I have my ways,” Ye Nanshen replied lightly.
Old Master Ye sighed, a look of exasperated affection in his eyes, and asked, “And you came alone? Where’s your lucky charm? Didn’t you bring her? Not afraid I’ll match you with another woman?”
“She went to our room to fetch something,” Ye Nanshen, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs, said nonchalantly, “I didn’t care before, let you match me with whoever you wanted, knowing I wouldn’t accept them. But now, it’s different. My lucky charm gets jealous easily and can’t stand other women around me. So, if one comes, I strip and throw them out.”
“Nonsense!” Old Master Ye said as he glared at Ye Nanshen.
Old Master Ye gestured for everyone to sit. Since the dishes hadn’t been served yet, so there was still time for conversation. However, with Ye Nanshen’s arrival, all attention was on him. Everyone could hear Old Master Ye and Ye Nanshen talking, but their gazes were fixed on Ye Nanshen, especially Ye Shaochen.
In just a moment, Ye Shaochen felt the powerful aura emanating from Ye Nanshen, his mind was alarmed and filled with wariness and fear. He thought Ye Nanshen who hid secrets was dangerous and a threat. Ye Shaochen diverted his gaze, staring blankly at a flower basket in the distance.
Meanwhile, Rong Qi, having separated from Ye Nanshen, was walking towards their room in the Ye residence with Fan Hui. But just as they crossed the corridor, they saw someone standing on a small bridge behind a rockery, watching the fish.
‘Foes do often cross paths and there he is!’ Rong Qi thought.
The bridge was the only way to Rong Qi and Ye Nanshen’s room. She looked up and headed in that direction.
Clearly, Ye Shaoxian, feeding the fish, also noticed Rong Qi. His face twisted instantly. He strode forward, blocking her at the bridgehead.
“You! Why is it you?” Ye Shaoxian pointed at Rong Qi, trembling with rage.. He turned, asking Fan Hui with a sinister tone, “Who is she?”
